Couch Information

Couch picture

Couch Available: Yes
Preferred Gender: Any
Max Surfers Per Night: 2

Shared Sleeping Surface: No
Shared Room: Depends

There is a couch where can sleep 2 normal people or 3 tiny people, if You are all ok with Yourselves :)
There is one extra bed but it's on my bedroom, so, if You don't mind with Your privacy, You can sleep there too!

First of all: READ my profile! The acceptance/rejection may depend on this!

Now that I am sharing the house with CESAR and NINA, so we have to check if we are all available for the days You requested Your stay, in order to confirm that You can still have some comfort.

About the house, it's located quite around the center of the city, so there are transports around! From Airplane (5km), till Boat or Ferries (10km), Passing by Metro (Red line) city buses and train stop during the week.

Just one thing, if YOU really plan to surf our couch please send a couchsurf request (by hitting the request couchsurf button) in stead of sending a message. It is less confusing and is good to know the purpose of the message!
Thank You once again!

Ah, one more recommended thing is better to let me know Your plans with (at least) one week of advance! We may be surfing somewhere too! And also important: do not send copy/paste requests, so if You were able to read my profile use the first keyword "whatever" (yes, there are another words).
Otherwise a simple ignore will be replied (or not replied at all).

And after Your visit We would like to know some feedback from your side, I mean You are a guest.. right? You're the one who performs a couch request... right? Tell us how was Your experience over here! We would appreciate a lot! It's polite and never hurts anyone! I always leave a refference when I am a guest.

I also would like to invite You to make some cycling a bit outside Lisbon! As Lisbon has heavy traffic and is not bike friendly yet, it's better to cycle somewhere else (on satruday afternoon or sunday or both if You still have legs and ass for that!
Or even better, join on some random bike meetings i'm organizing! I can borrow You some bike(s).

Also please don't send request if You come more than 2 weeks of advance, fisrt of all we don't wknow where we might be (specially on weekends) and also we may forget about Your requests and when You arrive, the house may not have space for You, and of course You will not be comfortable here.

Another thing is that we prefer to host verified members or people who donated to couchsurfing if You had travelled a lot by CS. For example You had been travelling for months, stayed with CS people, so meaning You saved really a lot compared to any paid night, so it will don't hurt Your wallet, and You are helping this website to stay alive! Fair, isn't it? Of course new members are welcome too! If You are new over here, You don't have to give anything at all! Then if You liked Couchsurfing the choice will be Yours!

And so the second word is "it", but keep reading on the right side :)

Ok.. What to say... I'm a guy, I have 2 feet, 2 legs, 2 arms, 2 hands, 1 head, 1 nose, 1 mouth....
Well.. the references tell the rest. The other people talk better about me than to myself! Anyway You speak by yourself!

How I Participate in CS

Replying over here, guiding over there, some tips all around, going to meetings... the usual stuff... ask and I'll give You an answer (if it's worth to reply).
And of course surf somewhere on my way!

The 1st CS bike pics are here (Azambuja-Santarém-Muge-Azambuja 80km): http://share.ovi.com/album/sergiomfa.2009-10-18CSAza

CouchSurfing Experience

Latvia and hospitalityclub in Berlin (made dinner there, hope they liked it)
Also with Zelia (aveiro), Flipa in Braganca for the sun ecplipse and austria on summer bike tour, latvia, lithuania, poland and germany biking, Siracusa, Barcelona, Riga.... Swiss Intra rail...Eindhoven (Thank You), And some cs meetings around Europe so far. And so on and so on... lost my count already and i'm not into making statistics.

Interests

Always music, trains, my bike, lansdcapes, sleep, eat, going to cs meetings, making CS bike meetings! staying alive... get bored, make others bored, but also make people spend good time too! Of course it will all depend on how we all get along!

By the way, if You like cycling, it may be possible that I can borrow You one or 2 bikes and join on some weekend bike trip. Tell me how many KM are You able to make and we will make a route according to our possibilities. (Saturdays only afternoon cycling as I work Saturday morning)

Philosophy

Just stay alive, good or bad things will come to You!
The choice is Yours.

Music, Movies, Books

TV: Not much TV, mainly Simpsons, House MD, Heroes, Futurama, that's it ....Music: Mainly loyal to Antena 3 Portugal, and the bands played on Bons Rapazes (Good fellows), Books: None at the moment, sorry! Too ignorant to read, but there are newspapers everywhere!

Types of People I enjoy

Well, Anyone who is able to enjoy or being enjoyed by me!
Good luck :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Always request phone contacts if someone has no reference! Talk to the person You will meet! Helps alot and avoids lot's of inconvenience! SERIOUSLY!
All the rest can be found
HERE

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

Being alive is mostly amazing! And can be also boring.. It happens to almost everyone. Right?
And yes All the cycle tours around europe. Mainly Austria and Russia.
In my mind is for sure a world cycle trip, for sure I'll make that one day! Just don't know when! But it may be possible that can ber very soon! Let's see how my life will be.
Update: YES! I WILL CYCLE THE WORLD! Definitely!
Ok.. now suspended, but still on my mind!
Because the third word is "is":)
So if you reached this level and We had approved your couch request, You can contact if You are stranded, or tell me Your username if You send me SMS, if I cannot host, it could be possible to find something for You! However always make a backup plan.

Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org Project

About couchsurfing is a wonferful idea, I just feel sorry that many other members don't share the same idea (nobody is perfect.. right?).

Sergio - unbelievable cycler! I couldn't believe he reached Kazakhstan border from Germany by bike in one month, it's crazy, hard and I admire him. And I like this ecologic type of transportation - his biggest hobby - very much as well. On the other hand I have seen Sergio driving "CouchSurfing car" (car provided to the CS community - cool isn't it?) which was also interesting. Sergio has so many plans - fantastic long trips across the world by bicycle, lot of great stories and he also gave me more good tips about planning and transportation by e-maps/internet. I wish him many lucky kilometers by bike!

Once upon a time there were CS chat and seems I was adoptee by this crazy huge family and now i plan my travells with the purpose to meet up all my chat relatives in person! Sergiolx and his inalienable part - THE BIKE were the first chatters Ive hosted (interesting is bike into chat too?). The bike were a bit dirty, silent and looked tired, but as for Sergiolx - he is such an confident, professional traveller, seems he knows Nizhny Novgorod better than I do! My parents loved him. Even tho i was not in my best shape he kept on smiling and saying - "everythig gonna be alright"! He is an extremely "positive thinker"! and the last thing (Achtung!!!)home made vodka (around 50 %) doesnt knock him to his knees!!! wow

This amazing guy was not able to find a couch in our huge city and had to scream in "last minute couch" forum for shelter. I was the first who answer him. He is one of the pioneers of this world he ready to discover it every minute in his life. The only fact that he was so desperate to start a rounf the world trip on bicycle could tell a lot about this person!!! Sergio I wish you a nice trip, I wish that all that you want in this trip become true. And also I wish that I will be the first who'll have your book with you autograph. See ya, man! Adeus amigo!

Upd: Well I host this incredible guy again when he stuck at the border of Kazakhstan. Imagine, he doesn't know that he had to have visa for this country! It was really something =))) His round-the-world-trip come to an end in Moscow. I wish that he will try again later and will be successful. And it will be really something!!

Sergio was one of the most sympatic persons around over the days in Bremen, always happy and willing to share a huge sum of recommendable knowdledge he gathered over the time of traveling - with his next trip already ahead.
He even shared his 3g connection with everyone when the flat's WiFi broke down - how couldn't I as a geek-in-spe adcovate him and his CS and always helpful spirit in best matters? :)
Great and easy going times were ongoing all the time with him as polite but active soul around, so I absolutley recommend to enjoy meeting and hosting him when he passes by your town!

This guy is really funny. I don't know how many times he hugged me, smiling at the Paella 2008. He is always smiling, joking ... a great guy to have fun with. I was supposed to give him a lift back home to Düsseldorf, but he immediately accepted it, when I asked him to go there with other CSers, as I wanted to stay a day longer.
We planned to see each other soon, cause we live really close to each other. Looking forward to it!

Now he lives in Germany and i convinced him to come to the Berlin Beach Camp, where i hosted him for 2 nights in my tent and we had finally the chance for intensive exchange each other about trains, bikes, electronical gadgets and more other stuff. A lot in common, also the kind of work we do :=) I'm sure we will met soon again and will stay in contact! Great guy and a very good friend!

Sergio's open-minded, direct, uncomplicated and funny nature is extraordinary. Unfortunately, we didn't spend much time together, only a few hours on his first day in Eindhoven, but I daresay that Sergio has the wonderful gift to brighten up dull days just by his presence...

Sergio stayed two nights with us. He brought his notebook along and entertained us with all sort of funny videos! But also with beautiful pictures from his cycling trips trough Portugal. Thanks for sharing this experiences, for speaking Portuguese with me and thank you for the very tasty meal you cooked! I do hope to see you soon again in Lisboa! Até mais, amigo!

Sergio is a very, very nice guest indeed, he even cooked a very delicious dinner for us - so he's welcome anytime again! Not only because of the dinner... ;^) He loves trains, bikes and chocolate... it was so funny watching him to pack all these chocolates into his backpack! Very tidy and charming also, and travelling with his laptop he also has some funny movies to show. Ask about the brazilian girl trying to pronounce www.youtube.com - it's the best! Hope to see you again in CH or P or wherever...

Sergio is a great man. Thanks to him i will be able to call cheaper, flight cheaper....and so many others things.
But more than material things....i win a new friendship and i am very happy about it.
I am wondering if i should ask for the portugese nationality...they are just so great people...and sure the country is as great as them.
Hope to share a bicycling experience with you one day....
Was really nice evening talking...hope to see you soon.

What a sports enthusiast! When Sérgio arrived Aveiro it was already dark... He spent the whole day cycling up and down the hill! What a ride... I really admire his enthusiasm about bicycles. After that long day, besides a sore bottom, he also collected very reddish sun burns... poor guy!
His knowledge on Portuguese geography is amazing! He also gave me some hints about Latvia... he is one of the stimulators for my trip this summer to Riga!
Update: Me and Carlos spent one night at Sergio's place, after our return flight from the Baltic Region. Although we have stayed just for a couple of hours (late flight, early train), we had time to catch up and even to see some sketches of ‘Gato Fedorento’, a must! Sergio is a great guy, whom I chat with almost everyday on MSN! Tem muita pedalada :)

he wants to ride his bicycle, he wants to ride his bike ;). I hosted Sergio for 2 nights in POznan, he turned out to be a great and funny guy, with tonnes of fantastic mp3s to share with me ;) I can't believe how many languages he speaks, maybe it's high time you learned Polish, Sergio ? ;D Hope to see him somewhere and somewhat in the future :)

A great guy! I had been talking with Sergio for a few months before I CS'd with him.. What a great guy!!

Very generous, caring and loads of fun!! I don't think I stopped laughing while I was CSing with him.

If I can twist his arm, I'd like to CS with him again when he moves to Sicily.. hehe ;) What do you think Sergio??? ;)

street biker. Actually I saw Sergio first and not his bike, even if the bike is/was the front profile picture. I was really surprised how little luggage he had with him and still so many cool things in there. I'm trying to copy that. ... As he didn't make any pictures in Vienna, I guess I will see him here again and next time I'll show him personally the beautiful sites of my city (and the bike ways).
Take care!
